HEllo,
1. No.
2. No.
3. depends on the magnitude of the score, but tipically the lowest few
scores do not represent meaningfully different models.
reason for 1 and 2 is that modeller scores solely depend on the
violation of restrainst, adding or removing some of them will setup a
new relative pseudo-energy scale.
best wishes,
Andras
